I like the occasional "inside" humor we get -- I might have even scored this one higher since it appeals to might sense of artistic justice. :-)

I don't think it needs to be any sharper -- this degree of softness suits the mood and composition just fine.

Maybe you'll consider adding it the the Blur Gallery as well as the B&W. ;-)

With the curving limbs, there's also a suggestion of the Yin/Yang symbol.

I'm always on the lookout to take pictures of people taking pictures -- I have one with almost this exact composition, though a different setting.

A quiet moment

I would darken and/or crop part of that bright sky so it doesn't compete so much with the cute face.
